Around the Web: 3 Charts That Show the FCC is Full of Malarkey on Net Neutrality and Title II


Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has voted in favor of reclassifying the Internet from an "information service" to being a "telecommunication service" and thus subject to same sort of Title II regulations that have governed voice telephony for decades.

Reason.com has a great article up that cuts through all the talking points and presents some interesting facts.

A Journey Through 'The Legend of Zelda' Series (Part 1)



I have recently started playing though all of the console 'Legend of Zelda' games and thought that I would share my opinions about each of them as I complete them.  Of the eight released for home consoles, I have played six of them in the past, only missing out on Majora's Mask and Skyward Sword.

I have never been much of a handheld gamer (until recently with my Vita and 3DS), so I have not decided whether or not I will go back and play the many I've missed out on Gameboy, GBA, etc... through the years, but it is a possibility.

I will be playing each game on the original console it was released on to get a more authentic experience.  While all of them could be played on my Wii U via Virtual Console, or on my 3DS, there is just something about playing them with the original system with the original controller.

As I write this, I have completed 'The Legend of Zelda' on NES last week and have begun 'Zelda II:  The Adventure of Link'

Here is my review of the first one:

'Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions' Review



I recently purchased the Limited Edition of 'Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions' released by Sentai Filmworks and I must say it is one of the best LE's that I have ever bought.  Not only does it contain all 12 episodes, the OVA, and some shorts on both Blu Ray and DVD, it also includes the following:

14 Postcards
7 Art Boards
1 Holographic Card
1 Linticular Card
3 Stickers
152 page Art Book
Keychain
Rikka's Eyepatch
Wallet Chain

You can get all of this for $77.99 on Rightstuf.com.  The box that contains all these goodies is gorgeous to look at as well.

But what about the series itself?  Read on to find out my opinion on this series.
